Ezekiel 4
4
1Youi also, Son of man, take youi a tile, and lay it before youi, and portray upon it the city, [even] Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]:
2And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it round about.
3Moreover take youi unto youi an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between youi and the city: and set youri face against it, and it shall be besieged, and youi shall lay siege against it. This [shall be] a sign to the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
4Lie youi also upon youri left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] upon it: [according] to the number of the days that youi shall lie upon it youi shall bear their iniquity.
5For I have laid upon youi the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall youi bear the iniquity of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
6And when youi have accomplished them, lie again on youri right side, and youi shall bear the iniquity of the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] forty days: I have appointed youi each day for a year.
7Therefore youi shall set youri face toward the siege of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and youri arm [shall be] uncovered, and youi shall prophesy against it.
8And, behold, I will lay bands upon youi, and youi shall not turn youi from one side to another, till youi have ended the days of youri siege.
9Take youi also unto youi wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches (a kind of grain used for seasoning), and put them in one vessel, and make youi bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that youi shall lie upon youi side, three hundred and ninety days shall youi eat thereof.
10And youi meat which youi shall eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall youi eat it.
11Youi shall drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin [a quart]: from time to time shall youi drink.
12And youi shall eat it [as] barley cakes, and youi shall bake it with dung that comes out of man, in their sight.
13And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, Even thus shall the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, to which I will drive them.
14Then said I, Ah Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER)! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given youi cow’s dung for man’s dung, and youi shall prepare youri bread with that.
16Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
17That they may lack bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
